Environmental commitments
Specific, actionable, on every trip
Raja Ampat sits at the epicentre of marine biodiversity and demands the utmost care. Here is what we do about it.
Pack it in, pack it out
Waste sorted on board; non-organic waste returns to Sorong for recycling or disposal.
Mangrove carbon offsets
Verified offset programmes, including mangrove restoration on the West Papua coast.
Reef-safe diving
PADI-certified guides teach 'look, don't touch', good buoyancy and no anchoring on coral.
Fuel-efficient routes
Well-maintained partner vessels and efficient route planning cut fuel use and emissions.
Wildlife at a distance
Respectful distance from Komodo dragons and marine life. No feeding, no disturbing.
Conservation partners
Backing the people who protect the reef
Raja Ampat is on UNESCO's World Heritage tentative list, and its reefs need active protection. We collaborate with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) Indonesia, WWF Indonesia and the Coral Triangle Center.
We also work closely with the Raja Ampat Marine Park Authority, following every park rule and supporting its initiatives.
- Marine Park permit for every guest
- No anchoring on coral reefs
- Passive observation, no feeding

Culture & respect
Village visits on local terms
Our local guides share indigenous knowledge and the unique cultures of West Papua, and every village visit respects privacy and local norms.
Sustainable luxury is an ongoing journey — we keep learning, adapting and working alongside our hosts.
